Was it really four years ago that the David Sinclair Trio graced our Bluesfest at The Red Lion in Gravesend? Fast forward to tonight and David's band is now The David Sinclair Four as they take their International songwriting showcase, Fresh Tracks, Unknown Animal, to The Half Moon, Putney. Showcasing a night of new songwriting in the Folk, Blues, Americana and Celtic Roots traditions, and with doors opening at 7.30pm, it promises to be a evening of special collaborations, creative energy and a warm collective spirit!

Escape The Fate have recently released their latest music video, ‘I Am Human’, the title track from their latest album on Better Noise Records which is today's Track Of The Day. Directed by Robyn August and shot in Los Angeles, the video strives to send a poignant, global message of self-love and acceptance of others as it showcases stories from all walks of life. Escape the Fate have also just embarked on a North American co-headline tour with California post-hardcore outfit Slaves, featuring support from Famous Last Words, Picturesque and Set to Stun.

Progressive Power Metal band Ethernity (Video Of The Day) release their sophomore album 'The Human Race Extinction' this Friday 14th September. Again the band secured the services of highly acclaimed DGM guitarist Simone Mularoni for mix and mastering. The result is a powerful, heavy and strong album, which doesn’t lack melody. Ethernity's already excellent songwriting has matured and reaches a new level with this new piece of work, delivering an apocalyptic concept story. At the same time, all fourteen tracks can stand on their own perfectly, showing a more modern twist to their sound and songwriting, which reminds of greats such as Symphony X and Evergrey at times, reflecting the familiarity and chemistry in the band. Also, the voice of Ethernity, Julie Colin, brings a different kind of female vocals to the table - her raspy and powerful voice adds a special flavour to the band’s sound. There’s much more to come from this highly talented band, be sure about that!

"Seager's 'Losing Streak', would you believe about drink and women, closes out the album, with it's cajun feel, its message being that you’re just looking for a peaceful life, but you find yourself up the creek without a paddle! Well, come on, this is the Blues! All in all, a delightful eclectic mix of Blues with not only great lyrics, but more importantly, an album that has the vibe of a live band with some killer tracks that will go down a storm at any gig - particularly their drinking songs! You know what they say - go on - in for a penny, in for a pound!" That was part of our recent Bad Pennies 'Songs From The Medway Delta' CD review and the guys are playing in their very own home County at The Iron Horse, Sidcup, tonight.

We were recently privileged to be contacted by ex-Status Quo drummer Jeff Rich - hence our latest 'Introducing...' feature today. Jeff's band Triple J Trio released an album at the beginning of this year called 'Chapter 1' which is a mixture of Blues and Rock - so check out today's Track Of The Day. Joined on Blues guitar and vocals by Jamie Godfrey, the pair formed Triple J in early 2015 and following a spinal tap-esque amount of changes on bass, the band finally found seasoned and sensational David "Clem" Clements to complete this hard hitting line up.

UK Ragga Rock legends Skindred are heading out on an extensive 25 date tour this Winter kicking off at Coventry's Empire on Halloween and ending at Leicester's O2 Academy on Saturday 22nd December. The UK tour is named “That’s My Jam” after their current single which has remained in the US Top 40 Active Rock charts for the last four months. 'That’s My Jam' was the second single to be taken from the bands new Top 40 album 'Big Tings' on Napalm Records and follows the band’s first single 'Machine' which featured Reef Frontman Gary Stringer and Motorhead Guitarist Phil Campbell and was also used as the theme tune to the Brian Johnson TV show “Cars that Rock” worldwide. Meanwhile Skindred have just finished an extensive run of Summer festivals including appearances at Germany’s Wacken Festival , Sweden Rocks , Grasspop (Belgium) and last weekend’s Reading and Leeds Festival. They have also just had their classic track 'Kill the Power' used as the opening credit music to the new British Zombie movie F.U.B.A.R.

On this week's WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge Podcast Track Of The Day there's music from Anchor Lane, Bigfoot, Those Damn Crows, Disturbed, Jake E Lee's Red Dragon Cartel, Massive Wagons, The Black Mirrors, Salvation Jayne, Shallow Side, The Gasoline Gypsies, City Of Thieves, The Pink Fairies, The Vintage Caravan, Sunday Brave, The Great Affairs, Black Swamp Water, Love Past Blue, Bedrokk, The Magpie Salute, Joe Bonamassa, Black Country Communion (pictured), Primal Fear and on their Introducing Stage, two in a row from Zachary Kibbee.

"On most songs vocalist and lead guitarist Joey Landreth is supported by elder brother David on bass, with additional support from drums and keyboard. When required, this support provides a swirling organ, funky bass rhythms and pounding drums but, at one point, the other musicians left Joey alone on stage to sing 'Lost in Snow', a quiet, poignant song dedicated to David’s seriously ill fiancee. When they returned, it wasn’t to pick up their instruments, but to provide a chorus for Joey’s romantic and emotional 'Greenhouse'." That was part of our The Bros. Landreth review way back at The Garage, Highbury in London in March 2016 (pictured) - and Joey Landreth (Video Of The Day) is back on the road on his own tonight at London's The Borderline.

The Pretty Things have been at the heart of the UK Rhythm & Blues scene for over 50 years and 2018 will be their final tour. Tonight The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ, will be hosting their final acoustic show ever, featuring original vocalist, Phil May and original guitarist Dick Taylor, who will be joined by Sam Brothers on acoustic slide guitar, backing vocals and harp, plus maybe a guest or two! Therefore it's no surprise that the gig has sold out but there may be some returns if you go along at 9pm. These legendary "bad boys of rock" created some of the most exciting and innovative records of the late 60's and early 70's. The Pretty Things' first 3 singles, 'Rosalyn', 'Don't Bring Me Down' and 'Honey I Need' all made the charts. The band then moved from Rhythm and Blues through Psychedalia, their famous Rock opera, 'S.F. Sorrow', and Heavy Metal - then back to the music that made them famous - Rhythm and Blues. Doors open at 8pm with music starting at 8.30pm with guitarist/vocalist, Sam Brothers.
